V qk Dt LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY '2 t, 1826. We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday, and also the Etoile of Saturday morning. The Etoile contains, in supplements, the remainder of die report of the commission of enquiry in St. Petersburgh. The immense length of this document prevents our publishing it entire, but we have given a p ecis of it, which contains all its most material points. The enquiry appears to have been conducted with fair ness and moderation, and the conspiracy and its actors to have been less formidable and dangerous than we had been led to expect. The Drapeau Blanc asserts that seven only of the conspirators will be condemned to death. The Etoile of Saturday contains a most interesting article from Constantinople, dated the 25th June, which will be found in another column. This article gives a very circumstantial account of the late important events in that capital, which completely confirms our for mer information respecting the energy of the Sultan, and the cordial co-operation of all the authorities, in sup pressing the Janissaries. These measures appear to have been crowned with complete success, and tran quillity was beginning to be re-established. The grant of the Constitutional Charter to Portugal begins to occupy the attention of the French Journals. Th., DOle, after, noticing the hopes which the Liberals entertained, that the Constitution of Portugal would bring about a revolution in Spain, and observ ing that a revolution in the latter country would more probably lead to the destruction of the Constitutional system in Portugal, proceeds to ask— " What will be the effects with respect to Spain of the establishment of the Portuguese Constitution ? " It is certain that the Revolutionists are already occu pied with new projects for producing excitement in the Peninsula; and reckon on a convulsion which may enable them to satisfy their thirst of vengeance, and to attempt to p u t in practice, once more their mad theories. " The Government will not certainly adopt, we believe, the suggestions which, even by circuitous means, might acquire for it the liberal party ; concesssions which might have been made some months ago, without inconvenience, would now be interpreted as a symptom of weakness, and weakness is a mortal malady for States. " If the establishment of the Portuguese Constitution gives rise to troubles in Portugal, Spain ought, above all things, to endeavour to prevent the propagation of the con .tagion in her territory. It is in the conduct of her admi nistration that she will find her remedy. " The first effect of these innovations, with regard to Spain, will be that of obliging her Government to consi der seriously her . situation, to conjecture what may happen to her, and to occupy herself with the means of her salva. tion and escape. " In sounding th e wounds which a foreign war for so many years has caused to her, the inoculation of the revo lutionary poison, the separatio n of her colonies, and civil discords, Spain might impr u d ently be too much tiejected— She would be wrong; a nation like Spain can never want resources if she have recourse to the means which Providence has given her, to her religious character, and to the virtues with which she is endowed." If the establishment of the New Constitution in Portugal should oblige the Government of Spain se riously to consider her situation, as hinted in this ex tract, it will;have been productive of c ,Oonsequencet which cannot fail to he beneficial to that unhappy country. Any examination of her present condition by her Government will lead other classes to the same Investigation,' and they will most certainly come to , the. conclusion, that Spain is reduced in character and station amongst nations, to the lowest state of degra dation: that her population are sunk in ignorance and superstition, and that misery and want are stalking throughout the land. This state of • thing s will be their true c ause — t l le h orr ibl e nature and traced to con duct,of the Government ; and sooner or later, in spite of every attempt to the contrary, the result which all rational men must, desire will be accomplished in Spain; a B we ll as io her sister country. WC should have noticed that the Journal des . . Debats states that the appointnient of M. A.I4DUAGA, to be Minister Plenipotentia r y from Mulrid to the Court of Lisbon , had been revoked, at the instant he was setting out on his mission.

We have received Brussels Papers of the 21st inst. from which the following are extracts :--- SMYRNA, June 10.---Letters from Napoli di R oman i a, of the :NI and 6th of this month bring the news, which is peculiarly important under the present circumstances, that the Government at that place had received official infor mation of the speedy arrival of Lord Cochrane. What makes people here give credit to this news is the feu shown by all the European merchants, who, since it has been received, will not send away any Turkish property. The Greek Admirals, Miaulis and Sachturis, who have latterly attempted nothing against the Turkish fleets, are said to be at Napoli with 130 vessels, includ ing five ships waiting for the arrival of Cochrane, in order, as,the Greeks flatter themselves to strike some great and decisive blow. At least, the appearance of Lord Cochrane in these seas will most likely paralyze the.Offensive,opera tions of the Capitan Pacha and Ibrahim Paella. SEMLIN, July s.—According to accounts from.Bitog fia to 28th June, the. Seraskier Redschid Pacha, who was to proceed to the Mores, had unexpectedly arrived at Janina. It was reported that the Sultan had sent for him to Constantinople, where, as we know, great troubles have taken place. TRIESTE, July B.—A vessel, which has arrived here in 19 days from Smyrna, met near Hydra, on the 22d June, a division of English and American ships, on board which the Captain thinks (though perhaps too hastily) was Lord Cochrane. BRUSSELS, July 19.—His Holiness the Pope has re cently written an autograph letter to our King. John Nicholas Leonidas, Count of Sparta, who in 1823 was sent to Europe by the Greek Senate, to collect sub scriptions for his unfortunate countrymen, was arrested at Kemper, in the province of Overyssel, and after an inves tigation, which has lasted nine months, he was acquitted on the 3d of this month by the tribunal at Leuwarden, on appeal. A letter from Syra, of the sth June, says that a vessel from the Netherlands, laden with ammunition, sent by the Batavian Committee, had arrived at Hydra. The whole Egyptian squadron was at anchor at Navarino, waiting perhaps for the fleet of the Capitan Pacha. Hamburgh Papers to the 19th inst., and Dutch Papers of the -22 d, have reached us this morning, from which we Make the following extracts : ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 8. His Majesty has addressed the following gracious letter to M. Minziaky, dated June 27 " The zeal with which you have performed your duty as our Plenipotentiary to the Ottoman Porte, and espe cially the success of the late negociations in Constanti nople, from which Russia is entitled to expect a renewal of its intercourse with Turkey on a basis suitable to its honor, have attracted our attention to you; as a testimony of this, and as a reward for your services, we graciously appoint you a Knight of the Order of St. Anne of the first class, the insignia of which we send with these pre sents, ordering you to wear them according to the statutes." Wei have just sustained a great loss by the death of the learned Patron of the Arts, Count G. W. Orloff, Privy Councellor and Senator. Their Majesties and Prince Charles of Prussia, went yesterday to Zarskojeselo. The Birth-day of His Majesty the Emperor, was cele brated yesterday with great festivity. The Coronation of their Imperial Majesties will take place at Moscow in the month of August. The members of the Diplomatic body now here, have already been in formed of it by official notes. The whole of the garrison goes to-day to encamp at Krasnojeselo. _ STOCKHOLM, JULY I I. The Government has lately called on the directors of the bank to bring silver into circulation, in order to pre-1 vent the rise of the rate of exchange. Our city has been I in great danger from the fire in the woods, especially from the tire at Erstanio, half a mile distant. The King repaired to the spot in person, sent troops, had the peasants assembled, and by judicious measures averted the danger; but all at once, the wind veered to the south, and caused the fire to spread with such violence that it extended over a lake 3,000 feet broad to the island of Siklo. Happily it stopped here; only a small house was burnt the first day. The tract w hich the fire has passed over in the forests and in the mountains, may be about 10 English miles in extent. COPENHAGIN, JULY 11. We have bad for some days a most oppressive heat of 20 to 26 degrees, which was not diminished by the storm we had yesterday. We are afraid of serious disorders — we hear complaints from all places of excessive heat and long continued drought, and the hopes of a good harvest are given up. A•LEURGI, JULY 1. The drought and scorching heat continue. We have alternately '25, 26, 28, nay, even 29 degrees-97i Fahren heit. The accounts of the harvest are very melancholy. We have some English ships in the harbour, come for cargoes of corn, which tends to raise the prices. We do not fear that we shall be short of rye, as it may be had, though at a high price, from private persona,and from the magazines. COPICNUAtIiN, JULY 15. Capt. Kotzebue arrived here on Tuesday, from his voy age round the world. On Monday evening an English ship of the line, accompanied by a steam-boat, arrivedhere, and sailed on Thursday for the South Sea. Great damage has been done in many places by bail storms. HAGUE, JULY 20. We learn from Amsterdam that Lord Maryborough las arrived there with his family. These distinguished ravellers are expected at the Hague. EXCHANGE ON LONDON. IL474.BURGN, JULY 16.-37 ; two months, 36 104. PITERSBURGIf, JULY 4.-9 1-16. LEIPZIG, JULY 10.—Two months, 6 20.

We have also received the Allg enreine Zeitung of the 17th inst. The following is the only extract worth making : SI/LYILNA, suns 2 (111' WAY or conic.) All the ships that come from the Dardanelles bring the news that thousands of corpses are floating on the sea of Mannora that have been thrown into the water, in conse quence of the late tumults at Constantinople. We are very uneasy for the future. The Pacha has given public notice that the capital is tranquil. We have received this forenoon from our Corres pondent at Lisbon, the heads of several decrees, issued by the Emperor DON PEDRO relative to Portugal, together with the decree of the 30th April, convoking the General Codes of that kingdom : " The Decree of the 26th April approves the Regency of Portugal." "That of. the 27th proclaims a ge neral amnesty." And "that of the 2d May, his Majesty's a bd ic a tion of t he throne of Portugal, which has been before given." We hav e also received the oTtier of the peerage, which we are unable to •insert to-day from want of room.

Great and extens i ve di s t r ess exists ; but no fresh acts of di sor d er or outra ge the continued attempts of some unprincipled emissa ries, assisted by lbe wicked articles of Cobbetes Re gister,have occurred, and have failed to ' produce their intended effect. The most intense anxiety, ). however, seems to prev ail in the manufacturing uistrict s to ascertain tions of Government with respect to meas u r es for the , amelioration of the present distress.

Something, therefore, must be done ; and, if that something is to be effected, either by more extensive assessments of the Poor Rates on the surrounding districts, by fresh appeals to private cha rity, or by the appropriation of public money, we must in all these cases raise our voice against giving relief without emPloying the male part at least of the population. flow is this to be done will be asked ? We answer that all are capable of common labour, and that labour can always be found in every neigh bourhood on some work of general utility : and fur tiler, if the state of the manufacturing interests do not warrant an expectation of their early revival, we would even offer employment to unemployed artisans, at a distance from their present residence, on some great national work to be undertaken. 13y way of example we will suggest that the Ship canal to Portsmouth, which was suggested two years ago, and which, it was admitted, would be productive of so much benefit to the commercial interests of this kingdom, should be undertaken at the public expellee ; and that every man unable to find employment elsewhere, should be offered it on this work, at a rate of wages moderate in amount, but preferable to want. Every man can dig, and wheel a barrow—or would soon be able to do either ; and the country might thus derive an exten sive and lasting benefit from the labour of those on whom large sums are now expended without any re turn. We only throw out this hint with a view of showing that public utility might be united with public bounty, in the relief of the suffering workmen of the manufacturing districts. A Sunday Paper, distinguished for the indelicacy of its articles, made yesterday a most scandalous at tack upon the public Press. It dared to insinuate, because only one of the Daily Papers had pub lished the circumstances which were brought to light in a recent case at Marlborough-street, that the whole of the respectable Journals of this metropolis had been bought—or that the Gentlemen who report for them had concealed from the Editors the particulars of the examination for the sake of a few pounds. An insi nuation, more base in its nature, could not have been made—nor does the practice of the Public Press in this town warrant' it in the smallest degree. The Press fearlessly discloses all cases of villainy with the most severe impartiality, and the circumstance of a delinquent being in a station of society above the common herd, generally renders an exposure by its means more certain, and more unsparing to the feelings of the individual. But cases may and do occur of a nature to render their publication highly injurious to public morals, and in which the criminality of the in dividual, however deserving of universal detestation, and the stigma of public exposure, ought, from a regard to the interests of society, to receive its merited punishment by personal inflictions, rather than by means which, however corrective they might be to people of less profligacy, would be disregarded by one so lost to every principle as such a criminal must be; and would be disgusting to persons of proper feelings and habits. The case alluded to was most properly excluded from the columns of most of the Papers in London, and it was not because their Re porters did not put the Editors in possession of the circumstances, or that they wished to screen the object of the case, that those particulars were not published; but because the Editors did not choose to pollute their columns by any matter of so infamous a character, and thereby to diffuse a poison through society at large. The Editor of a Paper has a most important and sa cred duty to perform. lie knows the influence which the diurnal Press has upon society, and ought not for the sake of avoiding an imputation of venality, to admit matter unfit for chaste minds to peruse, or to sully the pages of his paper with that which can only shock and disgust. We, for ourselves, shall con tinue to exercise that discretion, notwithstanding . the insinuation or example of less delicate cotamporaries ; and we do so from a conviction that the cause of virtue may be better promoted by omitting some eases, than by publishing the particulars of all which occur at the police offices of this metropolis. GREEK PIRACIES. The following is an Extract of a Letter from Malta, dated the 26th of June Business is nearly at a stand, and the constant piracies committed by the Greeks will soon put an end to all trade with the Levant. The Sybelle frigate arrived on Saturday, with about 50 men killed and wounded, two Lieute nants among the latter, in attacking a band of pirates near Candia. An overland dispatch has been received from India, bringing accounts from Calcutta as late as the Bth March. 'The letters which we have seen relate only to commercial information ; although this mode of conveyance would probably give rise to a . belief that they were of more than ordinary importance. Another Cabinet Council is to be held this after noon. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY—(Txts DAY.) ATTORNIV-GENIMAL V. SKINNS,RS' COMPANY. His Lordship stated, that since he had been in Court he had looked with great care and attention into all the cases that appeared to him to bear upon the points in this case. This case was a demand made by the Attorney- General on behalf of the charity called the Tunbridge School; and the Court would likewise take it as a de mand on behalf of several other charitable institutions mentioned in an instrument called the bill of Sir Judd ; and two questions arose in argument, which had been very fully and very ably argued. The first question was, whether the gift of the residue was what the Skin ners' Company were themselves entitled to the benefit of, or whether it was to go to the charities ? Upon this the Court had formed an opinion, which, with the reasons for coming to that opinion, his Lordship will state in a few days. The ether pint was, supposing the Skinners' Company were not in circumstances in which they could be called upon to divest themselves of the whole of the property, whether there ought . tb be a distributio n between them and the charities? With respect to this question, the Court had not been able to come to a satisfactory con clusion„ and therefore his Lordship would have to occupy a short time longer, to pursue his cogitations thereon ; the reult o f N‘ hi c h ) he w ill l e t the parties know as early as pos sible. VICE-CHANCELLOR' S COURT.--(Tnis DAY). This being the h t st Seal Day the Court was occupied all the morning in disposing of motions, which were attended with no possible interest. A Wiltshi e e mag istrate of the name of Long has had a narrow escape from the honours of parentage, owing to a deep attachment which a broad-faced dam sel had conceived for his worship, while transacting some justice business for her about seven months pre vious. THE FUNDS. The fluctuations in Consols, during the last week, were not very great, and on the settlement of the account day, last Tuesday, when the Bull party threatened to take a large quantity of Stock, and frighten the other party into submission, there was not a variation of per cent. The remarkable features in the Money Market are first the rise, and great scarcity of Exchequer Bills. A rise also in t he , premium of India Bonds, which are 21s. prem. The heavy Stocks have also experienced an improve ment, anti throughout there is a general scarcity of Stock, the public investments having far exceeded the supply on the Market. Notwithstanding, hOWever, these favourable omens, the 3 per Cents. remain perfectly inactive, the public not seeming to take the least interest in them. With the ex• ception of a poWerful Hebrew party, who are speculating for a rise, and who support the Market when it wants support, there is no busineis doing. It will be seen from our published lists, that the Mexican Stock has risen during the week nearly 10 per cent., and that Colombian Stock has also improved. This alteration is the effect of very large purchases made in the former Stock, by parties who are supposed to be well informed on South American affairs, and whose operations haVe before largely influenced the price of the Stock. The Colombian Stock has not risen in the same proportion, but we are inclined to think, from what passed between the Colombian Minister and some of the principal holders, that some steps will shortly be taken by his Government to place funds at their dispo sition, or at all events (which is the consolation next to be desired) to satisfy the Bond-holders that the Government will leave no stone unturned to accomplish the fulfilling of their engagements. CITY, Twelve o' clock. Consols opened this morning at 764 77 ; they have since re ceded, and have been a shade lower ; some considerable transac tions have taken place at 764 4, and they are now 763.

Joseph Hawkins was charged by a watchman with having unlawful possession of a small smiths' anvil. He stated that as he was on duty in Kilbourn-road, the prisoner passed him with the anvil on his shoulder. After walking a short distance, wit ness heard him say to a boy in company with him " well I've done that fellow at any rate." He pursued, and overtook him.— , Witness inquired where lie bad got . it. be answered at Kilbourn, and was going to sell it; but would not tell where he lodged, and witness wok him to the watch-house. Mr. itanwrarrsol4.—You did your duty in a very praiseworthy nuiptier. I wish aU watchmen were as intelligent. The prisoner said he:found it in a field., A woman, .who-shuwett great agitation, on being questioned by the Magistrate, said that she was the prisoner's mother ; that he was a farrier, and lodged in Rupert-street. Mr. kawL,twsux ordered inquiries to be made, and remanded the prisoner. MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(Txts DAT.) James Roach was placed at the bar, charged by the watchman with " kicking up a dust" in the streets last night, and, by his wife Ellen, with having bated and ballyrayged her. Sir G. Eutaw/iv—What did he beat you with ? Ellen—Why urid his fist, to be sure. There were various cross charges between them. which put magisterial interference out of the question, and Sir George re commended an amicable settlement, which was at length elected. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—,(Tits DAY.) Morris John Me&nos, a horse-doetor, was opposed by Mr. Titterton, a eoachinaker, for a debt of .50/. Mr. Titterton said, that the insolvent had bought of him, on the 18th of March last, a chaise for 50/., which be sold on the 29th, and that the insolvent had given him a bill for 451. two days previously, and absconded in the' beginning 'of April ; and on the 12th of the same month he rendered to several actions, to which he had put in bail previous to his purchase of the chaise, from which it was evident he had contracted the debt in question, without any prospect of being able to pay it. The insolvent being questioned respecting the disposal of his property and his prospects, said, that he had received 50!. for the chaise and other articles, which he satisfactorily accounted for; and that the actions brought against him were on account of bills which he had signed to accommodate others, and which he did not think he should be hound to pay. The opponent then called John Hicks, who deposed that be had been bail for the insolvent in two of the actions, but that he had no knowledge of the state of his affairs. After the insolvent had rendered, be heard him say, that if he knew it would come to that, be should be in for more. The opponent submitted, under all these circumstances, that the insolvent wu not entitled to the benefit of the Act, as he knew when he had purchased the chaise of him that he could not pay for it. The Cuter Cason:mottle said, that as it appeared that the insolvent had disposed of considerable property previous to hitt committal, the Court would require a more satisfactory-account of all the transactions he had been engaged in for six weeks before his insolvency, and for that purpose be would re►nand him until the 4th of August• STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

Yesterday forenoon her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited his MAJESTY at the Royal Lodge, with whom her Royal Highness passed more than two h ours , w h en, a ft er partaking of some refreshment, her Royal Highness took leave of ins MAJESTY, and left the Royal Lodge on her return to Bagshot Lodge. Yesterday his MAJESTY did not visit Virginia Water, but dined at the Royal Lodge at five o'clock ; and at half-past six, the phaetons being in readiness, his MAJESTY, accompanied by his attendants, took some of his favourite drives in the Great Park. The Princess Augusta took an airing on Saturday morning in her carriage and four, and paid a visit to the Duke of York, at Mr. Greenwood's villa, at Brompton. Her Royal Highness also paid another visit to the Royal Duke yesterday. The Duke of York rode out on horseback on Sa turday, for a considerable time. His Royal Highness took an airing on Friday evening, from Mr. Green wood's villa to St. James's Park, where his Royal Highness inspected the new building for his future residence. PRIVY COUNCIL. On Saturday morning the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council assembled at the Council Office, Whitehall. Their Lordships met at eleven o'clock. The Lords present were the Lord President of the Council, the Master of the Rolls, and Mr. Elliot. The first business which occupied the attention of their Lordships was the pronouncing of judgment in an appeal, in a cause of French appeals, in which Mr. Boyd was considerably interested, which was given in their Lordships' name by the Master of the Rolls, who gave judgment of their Lordships in favour of Mr. Boyd, who was present to hear the decision, and who left the Court in very high spirits with all his agents.. Their Lordships then, proceeded to hear the further appeal of " Law and Chevalier," a French appeal to a very considerable amount of bills of exchange due from the French Revolutionary Government, contracted in the Isle of France. • • The King's Advocate was heard in support of the decision and award of the Commissioners appointed to hear and determine French claims. M. Carr was heard at considerable length -in reply for the appellants, and concluded about half-past two o'clock, when Counsel, the parties, and strangers, were ordered to withdraw. Their Lordships remained in deliberation about an hour, when all the parties were again admitted, and the Master of the Rolls delivered the judgment of their Lordships in open Court. The Noble Lord took a summary but comprehensive view of the princi pal points which had been urged for their Lordships' consideration in the case, and concluded with declar ing their Lordships' opinion to be to reverse 'the award of the Commissioners. The Court then broke up, and it was understood that this was the last ap peal their Lordships would hear this season. DREADFUL EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.--For several honrs yesterday evening the utmost anxiety was manifested by the inhabitants of Hatfield -street, Goswell•street. About six o'clock the neighbours were alarmed by cries of " Murder," in a female voice, which proceeded from the first floor of No. 23, occupied by a man and hie wife named Owen, from the latter of whom it was soon ascertained the prayers for mercy came. Every effort to obtain admission was ineffectual, and induced some of the neighbours, to attempt to gain it by one of the windows, which stood open, A ladder was accordingly provided, and mounted by a young man of the name of Reynolds, who, on reaching' the window, saw the miserable woman lying on the door covered with blood. Before he could make a footing its the room, Owen dragged his wife to the door, which he had pre-. viously unfastened, and tumbled her headlong down stairs, when she was taken up in a state of insensibility. The fury of Owen still continued, he threatening destruction on all around him, and particularly on Reynolds, until it was thought necessary to give him in charge. On the arrival of a constable be retreated into his apartment, and before there was time to secure him, had in flicted a severe wound in his throat with a clasp knife, which, however, is not likely to prove fatal. In the fall down stairs the poor woman had her collar-bone broken, but beyond that sus tained no serious injury. The circumstances which led to this unfortunate occurrence are said to be as Wows :-.--Owen had left home after breakfast with some ahopmatea, on a promise of re turning at one o'clock to dinner, which he did ; hut to his stir prise, could neither find that or his wife, or any preparation for such a meal. After waiting a considerable time, he went in search of her, but was unsuccessful, and again reached home just before six," somewhat the worse for liquor. His wife had arrived in the interim, and was very much intoxicated, but had partially recovered herself. Words ensued, and the unfortunate reaulta have been related above; THE MARKETS.
